title: Fungal metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: past, present and future applications in bioremediation.
abstract: This article examines the importance of non-ligninolytic and ligninolytic fungi in the bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated wastes. The research from the initial studies in Dave Gibson's laboratory to the present are discussed.
